He is an insurance nerd, often found late at night to be reviewing insurance forms, regulations, and quotes only to be awakened at 3am by nightmares about deductibles and exclusions. Underwriting and providing superior service are things he is passionate about. So is finding deals on Amazon. And the Dallas Cowboys. His family even has a dog named Romo. But what he lives for is spending time with his awesome family. Josh’s idea of a perfect day would consist of waking up to a sweet bind order, hours of fishing with his wife and 4 boys, and then a Dallas Cowboys win which would give him an excuse to make a celebratory Amazon purchase. Oh, and his wife is an insurance nerd too, so don’t make dinner plans with them unless you are either an insurance nerd as well or want to be extremely bored by the table talk.
